This is a great starter mountain to hike and the views are beautiful. The parking is huge and the added bonus of having great facilities is a plus in my book. #hiking #Arizona #stayfit -- Amber Braxton via Foursquare

Numerous trail heads, lots of parking spots, and endless miles of trails. Bathrooms at most of the trailheads and the park is easily accessible from Phoenix, Tempe & Ahwatukee. -- Summer via Foursquare

This is the perfect hike. It takes about an hour and 15 minutes to go up and down. There is a bench at the top to relax with an amazing view. Just make sure you go before May or it is too hot. -- Erin Crosswait via Foursquare

2,704-foot peak,highest point in the Phoenix Mountains, is a two-summited mountain that looks like a kneeling camel to the imaginative eye.The 1.16-mile Summit Trail, one of most popular in the area. -- Trails.com via Foursquare

Pros: less crowded, fewer Scottsdale-ites wearing gallons of perfume, more climbing near the end. Cons: must park & walk, much more slippery/treacherous on the way down, no H2O at trailhead. -- Annie Cowan via Foursquare

If your in town for a few days, and love hiking, you must attempt Camelback. It is a great hike with an amazing view! Just be cautious with parking, it can fill up pretty quickly so get their early. -- Michelle O via Foursquare

Even if you can't make it all the way to the top, this is a must try during your stay. If you're here on Sat. there is a guided hike. If not, stop by the front desk to grab a map and be on your way. -- Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia via Foursquare
